5 Vision and Priorities at Team SPAWAR VISION: Making the Navy’s Information Dominance Vision a Reality PRIORITIES: Keeping the Fleet Ready to Fight The Fleet comes first. We will actively engage with the Fleet, improving C4I support to the warfighter by reducing baselines, delivering the right capability and providing robust sustainment of our systems. Build Information Dominance Technical Authority We will realign our engineering workforce and grow their technical depth and breadth in order to develop and implement a System-of-Systems approach that enforces government insight, oversight and baseline control for all Navy Information Technology (IT) systems to effectively manage acquisitions and drive integration and interoperability into the Navy’s IT portfolio. Focus on Work Integral to the Navy’s Future As we align with the CNO’s Sailing Directions, we must part with programs, roles, and processes that are not integral to the Department of the Navy’s future vision or a core element of our mission.
